It occurs to us that invisibility is a fascinating concept and the Blur Sofa sounds like it would be a wonderful conversation starter as well as a stunning piece of furniture from whichever angle you might glance at it. But just how useful is an invisible sofa or chair?

In a party or team-building situation, it appears that a disappearing chair can be extremely useful! Take a look at how these young – and some not so young – people have a great time with the Missing Chair Game. Prepare to be fascinated…

We bet you’ll be wanting to try that out for yourselves now! But, before you rush off to grab a collection of chairs and pals who are up for the challenge, let’s agree that, in most homes, an invisible sofa or chair wouldn’t be useful at all. However, an invisible bed, i.e., a sofa bed, can be one of the most versatile pieces of furniture you could hope to purchase.

The fact that the sofa bed is designed so the bed remains hidden makes this a brilliant multi-purpose item. If you decide that a sofa bed would be ideal for your purposes, these days you will find a wide range of choices available to you.

So this final section is dedicated to anyone who’s forgotten how enjoyable it can be to find yourself on the last chair, or how devastating when the chair you are aiming for has unexpectedly disappeared, take a look at this Charlie Brown video:
